Music on the Green with Beat Revival: Enjoy a free concert in Mountain Village at Reflection Plaza. The duo of Ben Jones and Andrea Magee that make up Beat Root Revival are the first to say their style consists of a lot of different sounds. Influenced by blues, rock and roll, 60's-style pop and traditional folk, the duo's vocals fit perfectly together and their passion for the music is evident on-stage.

Top Chef and Taste of Telluride: Support One to One Youth Mentoring Program and take a culinary tour of Telluride, sampling bites from a variety of restaurants and caterers while local chefs go head to head in a cooking competition. Richie Stothard (Butcher and the Baker), William Vega (Siam’s Talay Grille) and Ross Martin (Allred’s Restaurant).

An evening with Ben Sollee: Cellist and composer Ben Sollee plays the historic Sheridan Opera House on Friday Aug. 11, 2017. Kentucky native Ben Sollee educates as much as he entertains through his innovative style as a cellist; conveying genre-bending songwriting through electrifying performances and non-traditional album presentation.

The Telluride Chamber Music Festival: This intimate festival has been bringing music to Telluride since 1973. The festival creates a spontaneous connection between audience and musicians that lifts the human spirit. Take a break from your busy life and enjoy one of life's gentler pleasures by hearing chamber music at its best!
